I prayed so very hard.....:cry: God must have a better plan for my boy. He did okay throughout the weekend but he suffered a stroke this morning...he died so very peacefully in his mommys arms....just like he used to lay when he was afraid of everyone...but only for me...so it seemed so approriate that he take his last breath that weay. I cant tell you how much I loved this one....

Thank you I have drawn alot of comfort from everyones kind words.

He is in a far better place and he will be waiting for you. Take comfort in knowing that Bomber felt your love and left this world with all that love you gave him to see him through until you meet again.:grouphug:

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Thanks everyone...I found that last night when I couldnt sleep....it made sense to me....except I cant seem to deal with it...I couldnt even drag myself into work today....it hurts too much. :(

Tabitha seems to have figured things out and is really needy right now. We had a little sleep together this morning but she has be really vocal calling for her borther....the vet said she will likely grieve him to since they were together all their life.

Rainbow thank you so much for the kind words! It has been just over a month now and I am still a mess but trying to place my priorities in Tabitha at the moment! Day by day is how I am looking at things. But truely we loose a piece of our hearts when we love our babies!

I actually talk to Bomber everyday and tell him how much I love him and miss him! I know I am nuts...But I am okay with being nuts! :D

It would have been much more difficult without the kindness of friends and members here! :thumbs up
